The novel I read immediately preceding this was a very disappointing and pretentious "literary" fantasy in which nothing happened. Within 20 pages, I was thrilled that there was already more plot in this novel than in the entire previous book I'd read.
This is a really enthralling read. It reminds me of Harry Potter more than a little, since most of it is the story of a 15 year old boy at a University of magic. It's much grittier than HP, and it's set in a fantasy Renaissance-y world, but there are definitely common elements: an outcast trying to be accepted at a new school and in a new world, bitter enmity with other students and teachers, loyal friends. I didn't know this was only the first part of a trilogy, and at over 700 pages, it still just feels like the beginning of a story. I was a little disappointed not to get an ending, but too intrigued to really care.(less)

I think the book has to be judged separately as fantasy and a literary novel. As a fantasy, it's a failure. The world-building was vague, perfunctory, and confusing. There was no plot. As a pretentious literary novel, in which unpleasant people collide with each other and talk about the nature of reality, I guess it's a success. I happen to really dislike that type of "literature."
The "plot" of this book was two ex-freedom fighters leave a desert nation to go to a big city, where they do jobs and meet people. Weird shit happens, then some weirder shit, then they leave the city. I finished reading the last page and went "What the fuck was the point of that?" I think there might have been an attempt as some sort of message about the fluidity of reality and the inability of humans to understand each other or something...I don't really care. I wasn't given any reason to care about any of it. Not to mention that I spent a large part of the book in frustration, trying to figure out the nature of this fantasy world. It's vaguely medieval? Except they have guns. Ok, it's roughly 19th century based on tech and fashion and carriages and whatnot. Except then there's a cigarette lighter (even though the author pointedly avoids calling cigarettes "cigarettes" throughout the book, but then calls it a "cigarette lighter") and then an alarm clock. Really? This shit is DISTRACTING.

I have some issues with the main character, because I frequently find her behavior embarrassing and I have a HUGE embarrassment squick. The fact that I can keep going with these books says something for how I enjoy them otherwise. I was a little annoyed by not having some of the big character mysteries resolved at all in this book. I mean, ok, you have to have something to make a series on, but it's just annoying that you're not going to even try to answer some of the mysteries in the book. (less)

Although I think her superpower is getting you to care about the romance, even when you can't stand the characters. So I still stayed up till almost 2 last night finishing this book. But, really, the two main characters are pretty horrible. The woman is a complete idiot who really doesn't seem to have any redeeming qualities. The entire plot is that a young bride overspends and then hides a debt with a dressmaker from her husband, becoming more and more upset about it. In short, if people just TALKED, there would be no plot. But then the husband is almost more disturbing. He starts off just being incredibly condescending to his little wife who doesn't understand money, but ends up being almost abusive. He gets more and more suspicious of her as the book goes one, accusing her of being in love with other men, and accusing her of stealing jewelry, and calling her all sorts of names. But obviously, it was really all her fault and then they fall into each other's arms. But, yeah, skeezy gender dynamics.(less)

It was one of my top two theatrical experiences (the number one spot being occupied by a performance of Tennessee Williams "lost" play "Not About Nightinggales.") I've always remembered the power of this play, and I finally got a copy to read to refresh my memory.
The play has two Acts, the first in Bosie's hotel room right before Oscar's arrest, and the second in Naples after his release from prison. The main thrust of the play, besides the horrible behavior of Lord Alfred Douglas, is the radical change in Wilde after his incarceration. The second half of the play is remarkable on the page, and manages to convey this transformation. But it doesn't approach the power of the play performed, and the stunning performance of Liam Neeson. Because it's really a play about subtleties of acting, and the ability of an actor to convey a spirit totally broken.
It's heartbreaking and tragic, and something I would recommend any Wilde fan read.(less)

I love the previous books in the series, but after waiting SEVEN YEARS for this one, I'm disappointed. The plot is ok, the developments fine, but it doesn't really feel like that much happened, especially considering the relative length of this book. Plus, there's one story in the first half regarding one villain, that then TOTALLY disappears for the rest of the book while a second plot and villain take over. I'll admit that I'm prejudiced in that my main interest in this series is Christopher Carrion and his relationship with Candy. There are some interesting Carrion revelations and moments, but not enough for my tastes. Also, Candy has a new romantic interest who randomly shows up. He has no particular personality that I can discover, but somehow, by looking into each other's eyes once, Candy and him are now in LOVE. This annoys me SO MUCH. Finally, not even the art is particularly good in this one. By the long break in publication, I assume Mr. Barker has lacked for inspiration, and to be honest, that kinda comes through in the art. Oh, well, I retain hope for the final book, but I'm side-eying the whole thing really hard.(less)

The most striking thing is how little any of us actually know about the Columbine attack and the attackers, because of how much the media at the time got wrong, and how adamantly they stuck to THEIR narrative of what happened and why. Asa student of psychology and someone who worked with mentally disturbed teens, I wish I had read this book earlier, because I felt it gave so much insight into how and why these kids came to this, and what signs SHOULD have been noticed.
There is SO much to say about this book, but suffice to say it's a remarkable and a definitive exploration of one of the most important events of the last 15 years.(less)

I'm totally sold on the central romance, so I'm not likely to find any fault with it. Love the female protagonist so much. Unfortunately, I had a high fever when I read this and I don't really remember the ending... Oh well, I'll have to revisit.
-Reread this because the first time I read it, I had pneumonia and a 104 degree fever and didn't remember how it ended at all. This is not as flawless of a romance/adventure as the first book. When reading it NOT out of my head I noticed quite a few plotholes and things that didn't make sense except that they needed to happen for the plot. It's still enjoyable escapism and I still am committed to the central romance. This ends on something of a cliffhanger, though, so I'm fiending for the next book.(less)

Sam and family go on vacation or otherwise on a trip and encounter members of a heretofore unseen species of Discworld people. There is crime, Vimes kicks ass. This one was enjoyable, but not as deep or meaningful as some of the other Vimes books and not as purely enjoyable as some of the other recent DW books. The second half was better than the first, because I felt like we got more into what the book really wanted to say. That being said, Young Sam is pretty awesome, as is Sybil and Willikins. So, you know, I'm not exactly complaining. Also, I finished it within two days of it's release, so, you know...(less)

I pretty much try to read any book presenting itself as "steampunk", so I had no idea what to expect from this one. And obviously, it's about vampires, so I was a little more skeptical than usual going in, because vampires are really overdone and even though I've historically been a fan of vampire stories, I'm mostly over them. But this is one of the most original takes on vampires that I've read. It's an alternate history/alternate future setting in which vampires take over most of Europe and all Northern parts of the world in the 1880s, killing most of the human population. Europeans (and others) fled South to their colonies and set up new empires in Africa, Singapore, South America. The book is set in 2020, after 150 years of development of steam technologies by the remaining humans in an effort to keep the vampires at bay. The protagonist is Princess Adele, heir to the Equatoria Empire (mostly formerly British, based now in Alexandria). She is captured by vampires when her airship goes down in enemy territory and adventures ensue. She's an admirable heroine who has been trained in combat and is highly educated, though obviously also privileged as a princess. She encounters the folk hero and vampire killer The Greyfriar along the way and much of the story is about the relationship that develops between them. So, yeah, this book might as well have been written to hit my romantic buttons, because I found myself helpless in the face of its main pairing. I'm not sure I would recommend this book unreservedly to someone who doesn't like some romance with their vampire adventure stories. (less)

We get to see more of minor characters from the earlier books, in particular airship Captain Andan Cly. I love the way the overall story of the series (the part with zombies) happens mostly in the background of the books, as a B story to whatever is most important in the major character's life. I wish we saw more of Texas Ranger Korman, but I have hope for the future. (Argh, this review is rambling, but I'm on opiates here...) The most important thing is that I LOVE the main character, Josephine Early. A free woman of color in a New Orleans under the Confederacy and occupied by the Republic of Texas. A madam of a brothel and a spy for the Union. Not much interested in romance, past or present. Fiercely protective of her brother, her ladies, and her plans to demolish the Confederacy. In short, Miss Early ROCKS. Oh, and also the book is about a confederate submarine that has been captured by bayou rebel Union sympathizers. And there are zombies. And Marie Laveau.
Honestly, this may be my favorite book of the series. Boneshaker is great, but I didn't connect to the characters as much as I do here. I loved Dreadnaught, but I wanted to go deeper into the characters instead of focusing so much on the action. For whatever reason, I didn't feel at all unsatisfied by this book. In fact, it's made me anxious to reread the previous ones, so I'll probably be doing that soon.
And now my husband can stop pestering me to read faster so he can have it. And if I had the money, I'd be buying copies of the whole series for everyone in my airship, but alas, I'll have to resort to badgering them into buying their own.(less)

I never really heard of her until recently, when I've started to hear people I respect mention her. From the look of her books, and the fact that they're classified as "romances", I would never have read them on my own. But really, they mostly just read like Jane Austen. Which I guess are romances, but I don't think of them as "romances," if you know what I mean. I really enjoyed reading this one. It's short and light, but witty and amusing. It was actually quite light on romantic content, mostly a comedy of manners. The lead male character is fantastic as he mocks his relatives by living down to their expectation of his behavior on the basis of his assumed class. I think I'm hooked on Heyer. (less)

It's the most thought-provoking book I've read in a long time, but it's also one of the most frustrating.
First of all, to clarify what it is. Richard Rhodes is a professional writer who came across the work of a criminologist named Lonnie Athens. So this book is written by a writer and not a sociologist. Mr. Athens has published several books on his own. This book charts both Athens' personal and professional life and his research and theories about violence. Personally, I think a lot of the flaws of the book come from the fact that it is written by someone who is not an expert in the field and doesn't have any personal knowledge of the social sciences. The parts of the book that are strongest are the telling of personal stories of violence, the actual overarching theory of the process of violentization, and the sections that apply this theory to historical time periods and war. The sections of the book that I would personally throw out are all the discussions of competing theories and all the effort into discrediting of entire fields of the social sciences like quantitative analysis and all of psyciatry. There's a lot of theoretical gobbledygook in this book, arguing about semantics of theoretical terms that ultimately have little practical use. I have a social science background and I could barely get through these sections. Ultimately, the book would be stronger if it stopped playing insider baseball and just talked about lived experience and the process of violentization.
While I'm talking about the parts I don't like, I have to deal with this book's antipathy to psychiatry. I have a psychiatric point of view, I freely admit it. I've spent a lot of time sitting and talking with people with severe mental illness and followed their treatment. I've gone into jails to interview criminals and assess their mental state. I've been responsible to making life and death decisions about whether someone needs to be hospitalized or not, whether they are a threat to themselves or others or not. And this book really pisses me off in the way it treats both psychiatry and the issue of mental illness. Honestly, the author seems to have an agenda in proving that mental illness doesn't even exist, which is patently absurd. I actually had to skip a few pages because I couldn't bear to read his discussion of how auditory hallucinations aren't a sign of mental illness because we all talk to ourselves and have voices in our head sometimes. It's such a sign of ignorance and arrogance to think that what people who are mentally ill experience is actually the same as what you experience. Trust me, it isn't. There are people who hear actual voices that actually command them to do things. There are people who actually are paranoid, in a clinical sense, and it's not just a logical result of a violent environment, but a physical sensation that they cannot control. And it doesn't mean the same thing as what you and I mean by paranoid in normal speech. These are all things that I didn't understand until I had worked closely with people with severe mental illness.
I don't disagree with anything to do with Mr. Athens' theory of violentization. I think that most people who are mentally ill and violent have gone through that process. But I do think that his methodology a priori excludes any criminals who are mentally ill. In his interviews with violent criminals, Athens throws out any case where the subject is obviously lying or saying things that are not consistent with the record of their crimes. From my experience, taking testimony from severely mentally ill individuals, I'm sure Athens would have thrown out anyone with severe mental illness. So it can't be said for certain if this process always applies to the mentally ill who are violent. I agree with the book in that I don't think that just because someone is violent that they are mentally ill. I don't think that many psychiatrists would disagree either. If violent people are sometimes given a diagnosis of mental illness and medicated when it is not warranted, I believe that is a result of the political, practical, and bureaucratic model that says that medication is necessary for people who exhibit certain behaviors and that medication can't be given without a diagnosis of certain specific disorders. And to be fair, there are some crimes that DO argue automatically to an individual's mental illness. I'm thinking of a specific case in Dallas of a woman who cut the arms off her infant child because Jesus appeared on her TV and told her to do so. It was later discovered she had a brain tumor that caused her illness, but she could have equally had an entirely mental illness based only on her crime.
But these are not the people this book discusses. The book deals with people who are habitually and repeatedly violent and how they came to be that way. The process of violentization is actually fairly simple when you strip it of theoretical gobbledygook. Stage one is brutalization, physical violence either done to the individual or done to someone close to the subject while they watched. Typically this occurs in childhood, though it can happen later. Violent coaching is another required component. Violent coaching is either explicit or implicit encouragement of violent behavior in the subject. A parent teaching their child “not to take any shit” to fight back, to make sure they seriously hurt someone in a fight, etc. It's the teaching that violence is an appropriate or the only appropriate response to certain provocations. The next stage is belligerency, when the subject decides that to prevent himself from becoming a victim again, he will use serious violence. After that comes violent performances, when the subject begins to act violently. At this stage he can either succeed or fail in his violent performances. If he succeeds, then he must gain benefits from his success at violence. People give him respect, stop subjecting him to violence, avoid him, give him fame and glory. The final stage is virulency, when the subject decides that violence is the appropriate response to even minor insults or provocations and resolves to use it early and often. An individual must go through all of these stages in order to become ultraviolent and seriously dangerous. If they turn aside at any point, they may go on to live a normal, non-violent life. But once a person completes all these stages, apparently there is nothing that will change their outlook and behavior.
Ultimately, I think this is very important work, and needs to be more widely understood and acted upon. But I wish this book was more approachable for the average person and didn't have such useless tangents. (less)

It's light, escapist fantasy YA that kept me fairly interested. It's also really long, and probably doesn't need to be so long. Although I did enjoy the plot, I still don't connect much to the characters. I don't empathize with them at all, which means at no point was I actually drawn into the story as if I was experiencing it. I was very aware that I was reading a genre piece written by someone of moderate skills. That sounds harsh, but that's just what it felt like reading it. Hard to convey what I mean. Oh, well.(less)

It's a pet peeve of mine when there are snippets of villain POV interspersed throughout the book. Even more so when authors attempt to write POV of someone who's "insane." Just trust me, this is not how severely mentally ill people actually think or write. Just, really, don't do that.
So the whole point of the mystery plot is to figure out who in the group of travelers is the person whose POV you get throughout. And the red herrings are pretty obviously only there to confuse you. And naturally at the end the identity is revealed to be nearly the least likely person, and there's maybe two sentences devoted to the reveal, with no follow up whatsoever to explain why or how that person was the villain. In fact, if the mystery plot were removed from the book entirely, I would have liked it a LOT more.
Besides my problems with the mystery and villain, this was still not a very comfortable book to read. The heroine is surrounded by people who mean her ill just because she is a woman and a nonconformist, leading to her being arrested as a heretic by the Church. I suppose it means it was effectively written, but I had an unpleasant time reading it because the mood, atmosphere, and events were so horrible. There's a real sense of powerlessness in the face of institutions of power, and the irrationality of faith. In short, it wasn't very escapist and put me ill at ease while reading it. (less)

This one was still a page-turning steampunk adventure, but the plot and ideas felt more all-over-the-place and messy. In addition to mechanical and genetic advances to science, this volume adds supernatural factors that differentiate this version of 19th century Britain from the historical version. This story dealt with Spiritualism, mediums, astral projection and other such topics. But everything was so jumbled together that it never really felt like a coherent plot to me.
But I still enjoyed it for what it was. My second complaint deals with the continued TOTAL ABSENCE of any significant female characters. There are three total female characters in this book otherwise crowded with distinct characters: the housekeeper, one of the villians who only appears in one scene, and a really neat female scientist/animal caretaker who may get a total of two actual lines.
The latter character perfectly illustrates my annoyance. At the beginning of the book the two heros visit this lady's animal organization to borrow some swans to travel to the country (the Swans are huge and propel flying machines.) They meet the lady who trains them and then they take her new assistant, a formerly homeless man, to take care of the swans. This man goes on to become an important part of the rest of the book and I suspect a future permanent part of the team. Why couldn't the female swan-trainer be the one drawn into the plot? There's a perfectly good reason for her to go along to look after the swans and then they would have had someone I suspect would be a kick-ass female character. But no, it's the random homeless guy instead. (I'm not complaining about his character, which I like, but it's an example of how easy it would have been to have a central female character, if only the author made it a priority.)
Anyway, despite all this, I've still given it 4 stars. Maybe I shouldn't, but it was a compulsive read, and the world is fascinating enough to make it a must-read for steampunks. And I wouldn't be bothered so much by its faults if I didn't otherwise enjoy it. (less)

I love the Temeraire series, even those books that other's sometimes badmouth. So I was relieved to find that it wasn't utterly horrible in a way that would ruin the series for me. What it is is pretty much more of the same. The real problem with the book is that not enough happens. There's always been slow parts of these books as the characters journey for months on a boat or whatever, but I've never minded. And I wouldn't have minded the very slow and monotonous trek across the Australian Outback, if the book itself were longer and if overall MORE HAPPENED. I just came off rereading some of the Kushiel's Legacy books, and though those are long, an amazing amount happens in each book. Not here. The last 50 pages of the book are very enjoyable. There is one very exciting battle and some interesting political stuff, but since that all happens so close to the end of the book, they feel rushed. Honestly, it feels that this story just got going right as the book ends. *sigh* Back to waiting for the next one.(less)

It's difficult to really get into what this book is about without spoiling it some. I went in blind, and it was really fun to read and figure out what's going on as you read, so if you prefer, just go read this book and don't read the rest of my review.
Ok, they're gone. So the book is about Sir Richard Francis Burton, who is asked by the Prime Minister to look into some strange happenings in London. It becomes apparent that we're dealing with an alternate Victorian period. And also that time travel is involved. As a result of one single action, history has changed course and both mechanical technology and genetic experimentation has leaped forward. So there are steam-powered penny-farthings, personal flying rotor-chairs, and broom-cats that attract dirt to their electro-static fur and then digest it. Also talking parakeet messenger birds that insult everyone as they deliver messages.
Regardless of the whimsical natures of some of what I described, this is a dark book. The figures behind the technological advances are revealed to be truly grotesque and frightening. Although the language is fairly modern, this book truly feels Victorian and uses mostly historical figures and some historical events, though usually changed in some way. One of my only complaints is that this book feels heavily male, featuring the important actions of wealthy white men. However in the second half there are more active characters of color and a couple of strong female characters that get (off-camera) moments. I'd like to see a good female character introduced to this world. Or perhaps more of one of the female characters that appear so briefly in this.
As a final note, any fans of time travel have to read this book. It's one of the best to deal with the subject that I've read. Also recommended if you like The Anubis Gates as it's hard not to make comparisons.(less)
